Neighbours living near 32 Marbank Way in northeast Calgary\u00a0are so on edge they keep a bag of important items packed and ready to go in case the house is set on fire again.<\/p>\n
The first in a string of arsons began on March 29.<\/p>\n
The house was set alight again on April 1, then\u00a0again on April 5, and most recently on\u00a0Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
“It’s just really scary,” said Sidney Lee, who lives\u00a0next door. Part of her\u00a0backyard fence was damaged in one of the fires.<\/p>\n
She says her parents\u00a0keep the emergency\u00a0bag because they are concerned there could be another fire and\u00a0their home could be at risk.<\/p>\n
“We have to be prepared and we have to know our safety precautions and procedures, we are just really worried.”<\/p>\n
No suspect in case<\/h2>\n
Calgary police believe all instances are related. They are working to narrow down a motive but don’t have any suspects identified.<\/p>\n
A security camera at a neighbour’s home captured someone around the time of the latest fire, but police have yet to identify the person for questioning.<\/p>\n
The arsons have investigators baffled.<\/p>\n
“I can’t say I have seen a location hit four times like this, especially over a short period\u00a0of\u00a0time,”\u00a0said\u00a0Det.\u00a0Graeme\u00a0Sloane.<\/p>\n
‘It’s always been a safe community’<\/h2>\n
He believes the house isn’t being attacked at random, but understands why some neighbours are nervous.<\/p>\n
“You are always concerned about the fire spreading.”<\/p>\n
Because of damage from the earlier fires, tenants living in the home were away during the last arson. No one has been hurt.<\/p>\n
Still, Lee says it’s changed her view of Marlborough, the\u00a0neighbourhood her family has\u00a0called home for decades.<\/p>\n
“It’s always been a safe community \u2026\u00a0it’s just very unsettling because it could spread to our house any time it happens.”<\/p>\n
